Did a side by side with this and Pappy 12 (Lot B) Nearly identical except Lot B had a bit more balance. This one seemed to be a little more sweet. Great bourbon.. but similar to Pappy, price seems a bit high —- Aroma- huge apples & pears, honey, toasted marshmallow, vanilla, hint of baking spices. Not getting a ton of oak.. very minimal to be honest. On the backed..getting a slight blackberry jam. Taste - man.. that is extremely light… too light. This is “pillow-soft”.. light and airy. There is absolutely no finish on this. All the flavors pop on the front end. caramel, vanilla, hint of butterscotch. Lacks complexity
